. "Biography" . . . . . . . . "\"Toni Cade Bambara's One Sicilian Night is a brief and elegant story that recalls the first meeting of writer Anthony Valerio and one of the leading African-American writers on the way to a PEN writers' conference in Sicily. Toni Cade Bambara and Valerio have more in common with each other than they do with other writers from around the U.S., and so forged a friendhsip that's supportive, interesting and charmingly romantic. Part travelogue, part love story, \"One Sicilian Night\" is a rewarding read full of Sicilian and African-American flavors.\"--(Fred L. Gardaphe, SUNY Stony Brook)." .
